Chapter 121

Lord Sang was previously an editor of the Hanlin Academy and did not need to attend court on weekdays.

Yesterday, Historian Cui broke his bone.

So today, he will temporarily replace Historian Cui.

Lord Sang is writing furiously at this moment.

He is almost too busy!

Don’t think that this historian in charge of court records is just recording

what happens in the court every day. It sounds like it is not difficult, but it is actually not simple.

Especially for Lord Sang, the new person who took over, he was afraid that he

would miss or make mistakes in recording something.

So this person has been in a tense state all the time.

It is in sharp contrast with Wei Yinuo next to him.

As Lord Sang’s colleague, Wei Yinuo did not think there was anything wrong.

Instead, he took the initiative to gossip with the system about Lord Sang.

[System, Lord Sang looks gentle and polite. There shouldn't be any gossip about such a person, right?]

System: [Host, you don't know this, right?] [As the saying

goes, you can't judge a person by his appearance, and you can't judge a person by his capacity.]

[For me, everyone has gossip.]

[And Lord Sang's gossip is not small.]

Lord Sang, who was writing furiously, suddenly trembled with his pen, and a drop of ink fell on the paper, which scared him!

You, Wei Yinuo, as an assistant to the historian, it would be fine if you didn't help, but you actually ate the gossip on my head! ! !

You, you, are you polite! ! ! !

As an editor of the Hanlin Academy, Lord Sang naturally knew Lord Wei.

So when he received the news that he would temporarily take over the position of Historian Cui yesterday, he was both excited and scared.

He was excited because this was indeed a good opportunity for him.

Not only could he show his face more often in front of the emperor, but with this opportunity, he might be promoted soon.

After all, Historian Cui is old, and it would be a long time before he retires.

But at the same time, Lord Sang was a little scared and uneasy.

He was worried that on his first day in court, he would easily become the target of Lord Xiao Wei.

Although he believed that he had always respected the law and had not done anything illegal.

But as a person, there are always some things that he doesn't want others to know.

Especially in this kind of situation.

Therefore, since he received this imperial edict yesterday, he has been praying that he would not become the unlucky one.

In order to avoid Wei Yinuo's attention, he deliberately behaved very low-key today.

And yet, what was supposed to come finally came!

Emperor Mingde and everyone: ???

Are we going to start eating melons again?

They were also very curious about what kind of melons this Lord Sang had.

Especially Lord Ming, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy.

No way?

Sang Qi's luck is too good, right?

He was caught by Lord Wei on the first day of court!

But he was also very curious.

This Sang Qi had worked under him for many years.

He was always humble and had good qualities. In addition to his love of poetry and songs, he really didn't know what kind of big melons this Sang Qi had.

So everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what was going on.

However, in order to prevent Wei Yinuo from noticing, everyone did not stop the discussion and continued with the previous topic.

Therefore, although Lord Sang was very worried, he did not know what scandal the system was going to reveal about him.

His heart was in his throat.

But because the discussion in the court was not over, he did not dare to stop writing for a moment.

He was simply in a difficult situation, wasn't he! ! ! !

Wei Yinuo did not notice Lord Sang's embarrassment at all.

She asked in confusion: [System, then tell me quickly, what is this?]

System: [It's like this, Lord Sang has a hobby, that is, he likes to recite poems and make couplets the most on weekdays.]

[And it is almost to the point of obsession. 】

Wei Yinuo was a little confused: [Reciting poems and making couplets? ]

[Isn’t this normal for a scholar in ancient times? ]

[How obsessed can he be? Can he make a living by writing poems? ]

System: ???

[Host, how did you know this? ??? ]

Emperor Mingde and the ministers: ???

What do you mean? ???

From what the system said, could it be that Lord Sang really makes a living by writing poems? ???

Can poetry be eaten? ???

How is this possible? ???

When Lord Sang heard this, his face turned green immediately! !!!

Oh my god! !!!

How did they expose this matter! !!!

It’s so embarrassing! !

He knew that as long as he was chosen by Lord Wei, no good would happen! !

~~~~~

What should I do? I really want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into! ! !

Hearing the system's response, Wei Yinuo was also surprised: [Ah? ? ? ]

[I really guessed it right! ! ! ]

[I just said it casually. ]

[He really eats poetry for a living? ! ]

[Isn't this too exaggerated? ! ! ]

System: [Yes! Otherwise, how can we say that he loves poetry to the point of obsession! ]

[However, the poems he eats are not his own poems, but those of a great poet named Wang Bai from the previous dynasty. ]

[This Lord Sang regards Wang Bai as his idol and worships Wang Bai's poems to the extreme. ]

[He really wants to be able to write poems like Wang Bai one day. ]

[But no matter how hard he tries, his poetry level never improves. ]

[Once, he happened to be unwell and went to see a doctor. ]

[The doctor conveyed to him a point of view, which is called what you eat nourishes what you are. ]

[For example, eating pig brain nourishes the brain, eating kidney nourishes the kidneys, eating bone soup is good for the bones, eating pig skin is good for the skin, eating blood nourishes the blood, etc. ]

[Lord Sang thinks it makes sense. 】

【So he thought of writing poetry. 】

【Since what you eat replenishes what you have, if he ate Wang Bai's poems, maybe he could write poems as good as Wang Bai's. 】

【So he extracted Wang Bai's poems, burned them into ashes, and wanted to eat them, but the taste was too bad to eat directly. It was really hard to swallow, so he thought of a way. He mixed the ashes with honey paste and took three spoonfuls every morning. 】

【This lasted for more than half a year. 】

"Puff!"

Emperor Mingde and the ministers finally understood after hearing this.

So that's how it works!

They have also heard of the theory of what you eat replenishes what you have.

Not only that, most of them have done this.

For example, if you feel that your brain is not enough, you can eat a pig's brain or something.

But, this was the first time they had heard of someone like Lord Sang burning poems into ashes and eating them!

This was too outrageous!

Wei Yinuo almost couldn’t help laughing out loud.

[So, did he write good poems later?]
